Default Strobe light on glider

My Google Fu is strong today. I found a Wiki page about the use of counter-illumination for camouflage that was quite interesting to read.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehudi_lights

From what I'm reading, the brightness of the strobes could work against you as counter-illumination if they are not significantly brighter than the surrounding sky. On a bright, blue sky day, would a bright strobe strip help or hurt your visibility. As I said in my previous post...counter-intuitive....
